The Radiological “Special” to the Congress Albert Soiland , M.D. Excerpt To Dr. B. H. Orndoff great credit is due for the happy culmination of an epochal journey participated in by 60-odd members of the Radiological Society of North America in attendance upon the Second International Congress of Radiology at Stockholm. There is only one note of regret, in that so few of our members availed themselves of the opportunity to combine, at such a modest cost, one of the most interesting and scenic journeys on earth with the most outstanding radiological congress the world has yet seen. The tour began with ten happy and frolicsome days aboard the Norwegian-American liner Stavangerfjord , a steamship commanded by a true Viking, Captain Irgens, in which good food, good fun, and good fellowship predominated. Then over Norway's placid fjords, rugged mountains, and scenic valleys to the capital, Oslo, where we regretfully took leave of our Bennet tour representative, Mr. Ellingsen, who had been untiring in his efforts to make us comfortable. We took the night-train for Stockholm, arriving there early Sunday morning in time to rest and prepare for the strenuous week ahead. A large volume would not cover descriptively all that was worth recording, even with the omission of the entire scientific program. The writer will. therefore, merely attempt to give his personal mpressions in the brietest manner possible. The Second International Congress of Radiology The setting of this historic event will never be effaced from the memory of those who participated. No matter where and when future congresses may convene, the Stockholm Congress of 1928 will stand out as a splendid achievement, one that it will seem impossible for any other nation to surpass. Official Opening. —This took place in the city's large Auditorium Building in the presence of approximately eleven hundred registered members and many guests. His Royal Highness The Crown Prince and several members of the Royal Family were present. The Crown Prince addressed the Congress in excellent English and paid high tribute to the science of radiology. President Forssell made welcoming addresses to the members in English, French, and German, after which he was presented with the badge and gold chain of office by the former president, Dr. C. Thurstan Holland, of England. The Scientific Sessions. —These were held in the impressive Parliament Building, which had been secured by the local committee for the exclusive use of the Congress. This massive structure with its large audience chambers, its spacious halls and innumerable committee and guest rooms, was splendidly adapted for the purposes of the scientific sessions of the Congress. Each audience chamber was supplied with automatic timing devices which served admirably to expedite the program. Efficient secretaries made the section chairmen's work a pleasure and uniformed pages operated simultaneous announcement boards so that each member could see at a glance all the work as it progressed in the six audience chambers.
